REVIEWS OF RASPBERRY MOP & CITRINE/SS RING

I got 3 of the raspberry MOP pieces yesterday & love them all. J284793, J284777, J284780. The 18" chain has very chunky gemstone stations that are double-sided (unlike the turq doublet chain from a few months ago). The stations really show up because of their size. The enhancer is a huge disk which works so much better as an enhancer than as a ring (just my opinion). Because the enhancer is so big I ordered the 17mm button earrings. They are beautiful...big enough to show up well, but not so big that they tip forward on the earlobe. The posts seem to be very strong too. The best part of these 3 pieces is that they are an EXACT match to the raspberry doublet Flora ring. The stone is exactly the same! I have posted for sale on Dephi forum the old raspberry /MOP doublet pieces J260099 & J159933 (the earrings & the enhancer w/ the chain).

I also got J264208, the citrine & DMQ ring that is now $57.59...one of the absolute best buys on QVC Ripka now. The ring is drop-dead gorgeous. Looks like an estate piece because of all the piercings. The stone, while not huge, is a perfect & beautifully saturated citrine. The DMQ consists of numerous tiny, tiny stones that make the ring sparkle & twinkle from every angle. I ordered a size 10 because at the time they were all out of size 9 (my usual size), so I figured I would wear it on my middle finger. As it happily turned out, the ring is too small for my middle finger & fits perfectly on my ring finger. The ring runs small in size probably because the band is thick. This one is a total winner, ladies!
